Map of the Captaincy of Pernambuco and Ceará from 1680
Map of the Captaincy of Pernambuco and Ceará, 1680 – This rare map of the Captaincy of Ceará and Pernambuco stretches from the Formosa River to the Estremo River, centred on the São Francisco River. Much of the information is derived from maps drawn for the Dutch West India Company during their attempt to wrest control of the region from the Portuguese. North is indicated by a compass rose to the right of the map. It is finely decorated with two cartouches and sailing ships.
